Our story
At Saxo we believe that when you invest, you unlock a new curiosity for the world around you.
Discovering an intuitive desire within to actively learn, explore, and ask questions, you will engage with new companies, new communities, maybe even new countries. You could call this an appetite or passion for new knowledge and skills. We call it curiosity.
Ultimately everything we do as a company is focused on getting curious people invested in the world by giving our clients more ways to make more of their money.
We began in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1992 with a clear vision: to make the global financial markets accessible to more people. In 1998, we launched one of the first online trading platforms in Europe, providing professional-grade tools and easy access to global financial markets for anyone who wanted to invest.
Today, we're designated as a Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI) and have an investment-grade rating from S&P. We are a well-capitalised Danish (EU) bank trusted by over 1.5 million clients globally and with more than EUR 115 billion+ in client assets. Our clients enjoy regulated and reliable access to over 71,000 financial instruments on our industry-leading platforms. We're an international, award-winning investment firm for investors and traders who are serious about investing.
Keeping our headquarters in Denmark, we have expanded our reach to having more than 70 nationalities employed in offices in 13 countries.
We are proud of our Scandinavian heritage and we are committed to the values of trust, fairness, and security. We believe this gives our clients the confidence to be adventurous and curious.
Curiosity can lead you to places you never could have imagined. When you invest, you stimulate the mind, you see new perspectives, and you broaden your horizons. Personal transformation is inevitable as you develop a sincere interest and curiosity for not only the world, but also for others.
At Saxo, our greatest hope is for everyone to become engaged, to feel empowered, and to Be Invested.
